Man United: Solskjaer previews clash against PSG
Thomas Tuchel has been hard at work preparing for PSG’s daunting trip to face Manchester United at Old Trafford.
But the 45-year-old will have been left red-faced following a pair of special guests at his team’s evening training session.
Tuchel led the session at United’s 76,000-capacity stadium but had time to greet his parents in the stands.
Rudolf and Gabriele Tuchel have travelled to the UK to watch their son attempt to mastermind a big victory over United.
The impromptu family gathering was also attended by PSG chairman Nasser al-Khelafi who was on hand to joke with Tuchel’s parents.
Gabriele stroked her Thomas’ cheek as the quartet laughed on the touchline.
Tuchel’s parents seemed delighted to enjoy a chat with their son and his multi-billionaire boss – but the same might not be said for the PSG manager.
United reached the Champions League round of 16 thanks to Jose Mourinho’s efforts.

However, Tuchel will now go head-to-head with a fellow young manager in the shape of Solskjaer, also aged 45.
When asked about a change in approach, Tuchel answered: “I cannot tell you because I did not analyse the Manchester team under Mourinho because it was too far away, it was in December.
“So at this moment I cannot tell you because all the games I watched were Solskjaer games so I don’t know what we would have done with Mourinho.
“We know what we will do [now], highly demanding tactically and physically.”
